Lawn mowers are not all built the same. First
there are the quality built ones taking seriously about the cutting
performance, ease of use, convenience, safety,
reliability, durability, ease of maintenance & care,
repair
& parts availability and environmental concerns. These
are the qualities we look for in our products which we sell and distribute
at Jack's.
So we at Jack's have done our homework choosing the
best selection of products for you (for quality examples & features see
our Honda Definition page).
All you have to do is consider your personal
preferences and needs.
When selecting the proper lawn mower consider yard size and type of
cutting required.
Lawn Size
The size
of your lawn will determine not only the cutting width you need but also
if a self propelled or maybe a riding mower is an appropriate option.
 |
A
21 inch cutting width mower are quite appropriate for up to 3/4 acres and
less.
|
 |
Self-propelled lawn
mower become increasingly valuable for lawn sizes greater than 100
square feet |
 |
If
you have to mow a 1/2
to 3/4 acre you need a mower with a reliable
engine (i.e. Honda) with a horsepower greater than 3 hp and definitely a
self propelled one.
|
 |
More
than 3/4 acre — you may want to consider a
riding mower or a tractor with mower. |
Terrain
consideration
Self-propelled lawn
mower makes cutting lawns with a slope a lot easier to maneuver on.
High
wheel mower are good for rough terrain, providing easy maneuverability.
Swival
front wheels are great for mowing around a lot
of obstacles,
Rear bagger allows greater maneuverability for
faster, easier work.
Push
or Self-propelled
Push mowers provide exercise while you mow. But, unless exercise is
paramount or the lawn is small (less than 100 square feet) a
self-propelled mower is a wonder especially if there is the chance that
either someone other than yourself may mow the lawn who is not as
energetic as yourself or you may have a low energy level day.
If you have a larger yard (more than
100 sq. ft.),
rough terrain, health concerns or are worried about being out in the sun
too long, you should consider getting a self-propelled lawn mower, which
takes a lot of the effort out of mowing.
If exercise is still
important we suggest using the self-propelled mower to create a super
nice pattern by cutting it twice with the second pass crosswise mowing
in a checkerboard pattern to obtain a professional look.
About Reel Mowers
Reel mowers are found among the lawn aficionado who are diligent in
maintaining a superior
cut for the lawn. A well maintained reel mower minimizes ripping or
tearing of the grass blade. A clean cut such as a even scissor-cut
of a reel mower allows the grass blade to seal easier than a rip cut,
holding moisture and keeping out disease organisms.
. They work on
most type grasses, provided the grass doesn't get too tall. Most units
have five blades and adjustable heights. The cutting action is similar
to scissors. You may have to mow a little more often to maintain a close
cut, but when kept lubricated and sharp, the reel mower is a quiet,
and efficient tool.
